The Texas grid operator has announced rotating blackouts amid winter storm and frozen wind turbines
“Traffic lights and other infrastructure may be temporarily without power,” the agency added. The operator issued a level three energy emergency alert on Monday, urging consumers to reduce electricity use. “We urge Texans to put safety first during this time.”
Ice storms knocked out nearly half the wind power-generating capacity of Texas on Sunday as a rare deep freeze across the state locked up turbine towers while driving electricity demand to record levels, ERCOT reported on Sunday.
Here I was congratulating myself for figuring out by about the end of last April that the CHINA VIRUS lockdowns were going to become a long-term feature, a "learned behavior", a boon to DeMarxocRat politicians -- until at least the Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI only slowly began to realize that the whole thing is political and the lockdowns would be permanent. Those of us who are awake and not "woke" have figured that out by now. The question now is how to resist something most of us could never even imagine possibly happening because we'd only heard it previously described as "conspiracy theory".
